Looking on are INCEIF governing council chairman Dr Rozali Mohamed Ali (centre) and ISRA executive director Assoc-Prof Mohamad Akram Laldin.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia wants to have steady growth that will allow it to sustain and improve its economic position, Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz said.
She said the country did not want high growth in one year and a very low one the following year.
Zeti said this on the sideline of the 2nd International Shariah Research Academy for Islamic Finance (ISRA) Colloquium 2012 here. She was asked whether the country could sustain strong growth next year.
Timbalan Perdana Menteri Turki, Ali Babacan (dua dari kiri) bersama Zeti melihat buku keluaran International Shari’ah Research Academy for Islamic Finance di Forum Kewangan Islam Global (GIFF) di Kuala Lumpur, semalam.
Kuala Lumpur: Sektor kewangan Islam tidak perlu melaksanakan penjenamaan semula untuk menarik penyertaan lebih banyak pihak ke dalam sektor itu, kata Gabenor Bank Negara Malaysia, Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz.
Beliau berkata, kewangan Islam sudah diterima secara meluas di negara bukan Islam serta firma antarabangsa. “Saya pernah ditanya beberapa tahun dulu sama ada (sektor kewangan Islam) perlu dijenamakan semula kerana terdapat ‘cakap-cakap’ yang mengaitkan sektor itu sebagai ‘pengganas kewangan.’
Perkongsian keuntungan
“Dalam pembentangan itu, saya menekankan bahawa kewangan Islam adalah urus niaga ekonomi membabitkan perkongsian keuntungan serta kontrak berkaitan perkongsian risiko yang disertakan dengan tahap tinggi pendedahan maklumat urus niaga kewangan,” katanya kepada media di luar Forum Kewangan Islam Global (GIFF) di sini, semalam.

However, while the world is struggling in the midst of a financial crisis, the Islamic finance institution shows a potential to remain progressively forward. Various issues were raised at the recent 6th Regional Shariah Scholars' Dialogue, MCSN, among them the challenges shared by countries in the archipelago.

BELOW are excerpts from an interview between the columnist and Dr Mohamad Akram Laldin, the executive director of the International Shari'ah Research Academy for Islamic Finance (ISRA); Rushdi: You were a syariah scholar and now you are an executive director of ISRA. How did this come about? Dr Akram: I am an academician at the International Islamic University Malaysia and, at the same time, developed my expertise in syariah advisory. I am member of several syariah boards in and outside Malaysia. In 2008, the central bank of Malaysia wanted to establish a Syariah Research Academy and I was selected to be the executive director, and I am still actively participating in my syariah advisory engagements. |

ICG-Events are pleased to announce that we are organising the sixth annual London Sukuk Summit. This is scheduled to take place on the 6th & 7th of June 2012 at the Jumeriah Carlton Hotel in London.
We are expecting this year’s event to be the biggest to date as it is set against the backdrop of a vibrant global Islamic Capital Market as the Sukuk sector took off to a strong start in 2012 with January the busiest month ever seen in the market. Industry experts expect this trend to continue throughout 2012 with a significant increase in Sukuk issuance as Islamic Capital Markets perform well against the financial crisis and liquidly crunch of 2011.
The London Sukuk Summit is once again well timed and should provide an ideal platform for industry experts and those interested in accessing the industry to discuss the key issues, highlight and identify new opportunities and forge new business relationships.

Facing up to diverse opinions
Diversity of opinion can be both a boon and bane. While pluralistic thought is seen as a blessing in the Islamic intellectual tradition, many observers of Islamic Finance see the multiplicity of views in the field as a hindrance to the industry’s development. When encountering such diversity, how should takaful operators proceed in a way that makes business sense yet does not run afoul of the processes of Shariah?
This is the question posed to a panel of scholars in our bi-monthly series – Shariah Speak.
When there are several opposing Shariah scholarly views on an issue, are takaful operators free to follow the course that serves the business and shareholders best?
